To find the final coordinates, you're going to have to figure out this riddle. When you have the answer, you can find the cache.
Calling the second son he said, "Henry, you may take the same number of houses that Glen took, plus one extra house because Glen had the first pick. To your good wife, Sally, I will give one ninth of what will be left."
To the third son he made a similar statement. He was to take one house more than the second son, and his wife was to have one ninth of those left. The same applied to the other sons. Each took one house more than his next oldest brother, and each son's wife took one ninth of the remainder.
After the youngest son had taken his houses, there were none left for his wife. Then the old man said: "Since hotels are worth twice as much as houses, we will divide up my seven hotels so that each family will own property of equal value."
The problem is to tell how many houses the old man owned and how many sons he had.
Only the decimal portion of the given coordinates are wrong. To find the correct decimal portions do the following: Latitude- throw away the curent decimal portion, to get the correct decimal portion double the # of houses and add 30. Longitude- add the # of houses and the # of sons and the current decimal longitude.
Bring a pen.
